MikeyWellFan Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I never said they will dominate , put it this way if ashley bring stabilty and investment into rangers over the next couple of seasons who bar celtic is going to finish above us ? Probably nobody but as long as sellick always stay one step ahead, Rangers as a force are finished. Barren trophyless spells will be the norm at Ibrox for a long long time. I'd get used to it mate as the previous dominant spells are a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I don't really post much on the premiership forum but is this normal behaviour for Stand Free? I hope that Simsonsen recovers quickly as Lee Robinson looked very shaky in goals last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get used to it mate as the previous dominant spells are a thing of the past. you are entitled to your opinion mikey , it all depends on how Ashley plays it . if Ashley wants to go for the title and get rangers european football, he does not have to invest very heavily at all. It is in ashleys interests to have rangers challenging for trophies, titles and european football. I am not saying this is going to be an overnight job but with stability put in place and regular european football I feel rangers would be challenging for the title within 3-5 years with a few cup runs/wins maybe during this period. Talk of rangers with this sort of process in place going decades without a trophy is wishfull thinking and pardon my language utter shite. However if Ashleys regime provides another boardroom war/clusterfuck etc then your prediction could very well be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 They were also in the league above us at the time Yeah, they were the favourites for the trophy. You're playing a stormer here Says the clown trying to slag off Saints fans for getting beaten by a team as shite as Inverness, on the same day you drew with Alloa.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There's absolutely no way Rangers will be winning the league in the next 5 years. 1 or 2 cups maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There's absolutely no way Rangers will be winning the league in the next 5 years. 1 or 2 cups maybe. as i said it depends entirely on how Ashley plays it , no one can even predict the state of affairs rangers will be in this time next year never mind 5, I am just giving the prediction that with forms of stability in place, investment, a new management team and season ticket sales increasing , there is no reason rangers should not be CHALLENGING within 3-5 years of our return to the top flight. as i have also said should the boardroom remain or continue to be a mess then mikeys predictions of long barren spells could most definitley be true.

thepundit Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's more the way you think things will be back as they once were and that Rangers will dominate the Scottish game again. As a force in Scotland, Rangers are finished. So just to be clear, you don't think Rangers will be the top team in Scottish football ever again? Even the most deluded of Celtic fans don't even believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most deluded of Celtic fans don't even believe that. again it is people clinging on to their hopes rather than thinking rationally. there is no reason why if and when rangers return to some form of normality they will not be able to challeneg for and win titles again. again this may take a few years of rebuilding but to say it is not possible is said out of hope more often than not as people have got used to and enjoyed lording it over rangers the last few years that the thought of it eventually cathcing up on them does not seem so appealing.

yoda Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 St.J looked very poor. Hopeful/less balls towards O'Halloran (who really should have scored in the second half) and Graham, with nobody in midfield really offering any support to them. They look a totally different team to last season, mind you most teams would struggle if you removed three attacking threats - May, Maclean, Hasselbaink. I feel a bit more confident about the game at the end of November now. Rangers were better but that's damning with faint praise. Boyd looks half the player he was last season and there has to be a massive clearout if they get promoted. I wouldn't take the majority of the squad from last night at County (Simonsen, Robinson, Foster, McCulloch, Aird, Smith, Miller, Daly, Moshni, Clark, Shiels).

Fife Saint Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Truly dreadful stuff last night, beaten fair and square. We're in serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I actually thought Robinson was better, Simonsons kicking is atrocious Bells obviously our first choice and Simonsen is prone to the odd cock up but i wasn't easy with Robinson in goals last night - he just looked terrified when he came on.

AberdeenBud Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I cannot believe that this Rangers team knocked out the conquerors of Rosenborg Aberdeenbud...Get it right fucking up ye Haven't been on this thread, good to see I still get a mention. You made a ridiculous comment which I correctly called you out on, let it go ffs and try to enjoy your victory without being a bit of a knob. You managed to beat a teamat home that you vastly outspend(whether you can afford it or not), not sure what the big deal is tbh. This isn't the same StJ's that defeated Rosenberg, hell this isn't even the same team from May. I think they'll be down the bottom of the Big League with ourselves, County, and possibly Motherwell, come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 see over the next few years bennet when rangers do start winning trophies again and dare I say it the premier division whenever it may be , the meltdown on here and throughout scottish football is going to be glorious . I think folk like stand free might spontaniously combust with rage when this "new" club win their 55th top tier title before his beloved "famous(in the 80's)" eberdeen manage to win their 5th That's hardly how it would work. Should Rangers 'return' to winning lots of trophies, it'll be a pity, but a return to the norm in a dreary 'back to work after the holidays' type way. It won't leave anyone seething or melting down. We'll all just be grateful we got to see and share the joy of seeing them in such a mess, however long it ultimately lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It has become pretty obvious already that the BBC chose the wrong match to televise. No big surprise. The Rangers and St. Johnstone were the two worst teams remaining in the competition (apart from Hibs, perhaps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
